Do I Look Like Your Friend?

YEAAAAAAAAAAAH SQUID GAYS

Ima be so fr I forgot this scene existed so when I rewatched s1 I genuinely felt so bad for Inho like this scene convinced me that he most definitely is not some big bad guy but instead a very broken man who’s lost so much.

this scene 🙏

Can confirm that whenever I take my glasses off, the darkness consumes my soul.

I swear the Squid Game fandom has no media literacy. Sang-woo didn’t kill because he was desperate and his life depended on it. He did it because when people who wear glasses take them off, they become evil.

making art is just like showering………can’t get up and do it, can’t stop when you’ve started. you want to crawl out of your skin if you don’t do it often enough. everything in the world is the exact same

“That ship is toxic ! They're so unhealthy—”

Wip Squid game x DAN DA DAN

THIS BRO IM SO TIRED OF SEEING SQUID GAMES FANS W/ZERO MEDIA LITERACY BASH ON THE SHOW LIKE OH MY GOD

Something some people don't understand is that Squid Game is an ALLEGORY

Yes, many characters are very dictated (/doomed) by the narrative, beholden to their convictions, BECAUSE IT’S AN ALLEGORY.

Yeah, some things don't seem 100% realistic (although it's a fantastically well thought out world and story), BECAUSE IT’S AN ALLEGORY.

This story, these characters, THIS ENTIRE WORLD was meticulously staged TO SEND US A MESSAGE.

It's about capitalism. It's about classism. It's about the evil of hoarded wealth. It's about the dehumanization and infantilization of disadvantaged groups by privileged ones. It's about choice and autonomy, and how neither of those mean much - and yet, mean EVERYTHING - when all you have are bad choices. When all you've BEEN GIVEN are bad choices.

It's about the violence of poverty. About what people become when they have no other choice. About what people become when they don't have even the basics of life provided for them, the selfish beasts we must become to survive when those situations are imposed - and about how, then, we're blamed for it.

It's about the way we're pitted against one another while those in power sit back and watch. It's about the violence of consumption - specifically media consumption.

Of course In-ho is a little evil; HE EXISTS TO SHOW US WHAT HAPPENS TO NORMAL PEOPLE WHEN YOU FORCE THEM INTO THOSE CHOICES.

Of course Gi-hun trusts too easily, accepts Young-il as a friend despite that damning number on his chest; HE EXISTS TO SHOW US THERE’S ANOTHER WAY.

I just want him to be silly guy again

This is the same person… I’m crying😭😭💔
